I wonder if companies that caused Great Depression also felt that they could pump out two billion dollar movies annually forever?

Except, you know, "new generations" is whom is creating My Hero Academia and the likes why this is done by 50 year olds with belated mid life crisis. New generations gave up on western animation decade ago thanks to these people, easy as that:P

They don't and they won't. I'll believe that if Spielberg would make a true to source live action remake of one of older Miyazaki movies, like Valley of the Winds for example and I won't hear a single bloody word from media about how it's important that protagonist and most main characters happen to be female.

Tbh the only two sci-fi franchises I kept looking out for was new Dune movie trilogy and Homeworld 3... and movies reminded me that second game was basically turning into Dune already. Now I understand why people loved Cataclysm so much.

@PKMN37 "western companies" When was the last time you've watched modern russian or chinese movie? Yeah, suuuuure, there you go, bud:\

Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley and the rest of the new cast: oh boy, can't wait to be the new face of Star Wars. Disney: your reputation, your dignity and the love of your fans, give it to me, now! Sounds familiar to how the cast of GoT was flamed for final despite being only actors? Actors, who played out the parts people liked and loved too, but are remembered for coffee mug and other crap?

@dispatch-indirect9206 surprisingly both directors were also at least competent if you look at their own movies. Not ideal, but pretty serviceable. However what Disney management had done with them, their ideas, their rotation... yeah... committee trilogy 😂

 @davidberko9379 I still don't get how he's diverse when he's whiter then majority of texans. It's like casting Musk as african.

@davidberko9379 he's a good and popular actor, I'm just trying to understand the logic of "he's a diversity hire" argument. He's a white dude with french surname. Where's the diversity?

I'd take a guess that it has something to do with studio execs believing that putting shrinking budget, shared equipment, overworked and underpaid crew, actors, who might have worked in some cases as well as director and scriptwriter and demanding a movie from them just by giving them a movie name, character and timeline would automatically produce a successful movies. Meanwhile good movies have scripts rewritten over DECADES and spend one or two more in production hell. MCU barely worked out with half the movies being pointless filler nobody recalls. Like first two Thor movies for example. They're not even a spectacle.

But the real question is... Moonfall vs Wandering Earth? Who blew more money for more idiotic Michael Bay'ish(except without anything of what made Bay successful despite his madness) wannabe blockbuster? And if the plots of both can be salvaged if you combine them and throw majority of writing out. Just like Time and Elysium...

You know, Egypt and Greece are "kind of" real existing countries that can file a lawsuit on some yanks trying to rewrite and destroy their history. And their embassies have emails and phones available to public. No, still doesn't click?

 @titanomachy2217 1940's-1970's sci-fi writers already laid it all down for you. Have you heard of such a guy called Frank Herbert by any chance?😅

Remember F.A.A.N.G. bs? Uncontested, ground breaking, too big to fail tech giants that changed the world blablabla? Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google. Later on people wanted to add Tesla to abbreviation, but it didn't fit the cool naming doctrine 😂 So, remember how it turned out that Netflix is just another name for cable channel and is an evolutionary product instead of revolutionary? Well, the fall of Netflix and rise of other streaming services, including Disney plus has two conclusions made by their owners, boards, shareholders and their investors - 1)streaming services aren't as big as they pose themselves to be as they rely too much on licensed content available by other means; 2)they want to see their name in the abbreviations instead of Netflix. Or in case of Netflix, keep it there. So, what had it lead to? Mad rush in Netflix, Disney and several other streaming companies to greenlit almost anything just to produce the most "original" content by quantity, not quality. And the ideas that are pitched the fastest is the ideas usually mentioned in the same room as they stroke their own egos. This is why there's too much scripts written after the decision to make something marketable instead of scripts that were written and refined over a decade and pitched to the companies. This is why Eternals exists and wastes so much potential and such a massive event for a fart nobody even recalls in-universe, this is why She-Hulk was such a rush hack job that didn't knew which audience it was for despite everyone knowing that even CGI wasn't on the required level yet. Netflix had a head start as a service, Disney has a head start as production and effects leader in the industry, Amazon has money. And everyone and their grandma want to be THE streaming service to "X and chill". This is the "why?".

@denisl2760 Ah yes, the kind of people who'd be dumb enough to start calling people caucasian on their trip to Russia and then wondering why they got shanked:D

@FFFTonyo I believe that's what he meant. I don't remember it fully, but Ramirez is older then Spanish Monarchism

@BWMagus cultural appropriation, cultural genocide, defamation. I'm pretty sure there are enough names that can be connected to that, especially in countries that suffered osman rule and then fought actual nazis only to hear this bs being produced. Maybe China should start a conveyor of filming "documentaries" about how confederates were good guys, who only wanted freedom from union, who forced small states like Texas to join it just like Russia cut off Crimea from Ukraine and forced it to join? What would be a reaction to this? Will it run in theatres? Which network will buy it? Maybe you need even better examples to understand why somebody might want to seek legal action and oppose blatant propaganda pieces that benefit only current goals of the creator?

@johnnygyro2295 oh, then you haven't heard half of the story. They KILLED OFF Rhodes too to make space for her. When they presented Ironheart(which at the time didn't have her own name, they expected to just run away with taking away Iron Man), they have already preemptively put Tony in coma, killed Rhodes, forced Potts to retire and removed Iron Lad from timeline. So they removed a person wearing red and gold suit and Iron in the name, black person, a woman and a teenager to steal exactly listed characteristics and only them(because screw seeing Rhodes for anything more then just a black guy in power armor, right? Screw his USAF background that makes him actually know what he's doing. And screw Pepper for being able to multitask whole army of drone suits unlike Tony. Why make them different, let's steal whole "iron family"!) and combine into single "original" character. Imagine someone killing off whole Fantastic Four to replace them with Super Skrull? Or rather Justice League by Composite Superman?

@yourfavoriteyoutubesubscriber0 Iron Man was one of the top Marvel properties. The fact that you weren't yet born to see the 90's doesn't change that, sorry. Merch, animation series, arcades. He was less popular then Spiderman, X-Men, Fantastic Four and (somehow) Hulk, but that's also why he WASN'T sold to Sony.

@henry3652-s6w or, you know, lay down the whole idea that someone needs to succeed someone? Wasn't that the whole thematic point of Far From Home?

@isaacsaina3170 Ironheart is NOT Miles Morales, Ahsoka Tamo, Damian Wayne or X-23! If authors ever wanted to make character viable that's whom they'd have to learn HOW to do it, but that's NOT whom she is now. I bet that Supergirl was also met like that(likely not, but bear with me) and needed some panel/screen time, characterization and actually interesting plots to make her viable character on her own, but it was 1950's so nobody probably remembers how it was back then\/(-_-)\/

@yourfavoriteyoutubesubscriber0 yes, exactly like Batman, Spiderman and Superman, whom all also gotten their own solo animated series around the same time. Surely nobody have heard about these characters before, right? Right?

@idgaf2386 /Looks at iranian and chinese versions/ Haven't noticed any ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ If the company has neither guts, nor consciousness, nor self respect to make a statement out loud equally for all, then it's just a fart in a pool that they're trying to hide. I still think that you're overreacting on Arcane(and likely haven't seen it), but after seeing the censored version... nah, I'd pass supporting CCP.
